EVENT – Rebel Legion Laser Tag Extreme Day in OHIO to Support Charity

An FYI to all Jedi-Minded folks in the OHIO region. The Rebel Legion and the Jedi Knights of Cleveland (both costuming groups based around the Star Wars theme) are hosting a Laser Tag day to raise money for charity. Most people I know realize that I am an active member of the Jedi Guardians (a JEDI realism movement combining training – service – community based response) so I wanted to post this to increase the awareness. If you like Laser Tag, Star Wars, dressing up or giving to a good cause, come out and support the Rebel Strike Team.

“General Solo, is your strike team assembled?” – General Madine (ROTJ)

Not since 1983 and Return of the Jedi has there been a more important mission for the Rebel Alliance. That is why the Rebel Legion are proud to announce their continued support of Bowl For Kids’ Sake, a charity fundraiser event to benefit Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Greater Cleveland. For the past five years, Rebels (and Imperials) from across northeast Ohio have bowled, in FULL costume, to raise money and awareness of the need for BBBS and the dedicated professionals who place at-risk youth with positive role models in our community. For the second year in a row, PrincessLeia92 has volunteered to command “Rebel Strike Team.”


In addition to bowling, Rebel Legion (along with our friends at Ohio Garrison 501st) have come up with a unique way for all of us to contribute to the campaign. Each year, we host a special “Star Wars Day” laser tag event, where Rebel Legion and 501st members gear up and play laser tag with customers (complete with music and sound effects from the Star Wars movies) with proceeds going to our Bowl For Kids’ Sake teams. Our thanks to Jim Bemer, and the folks at Lazer Xtreme for once again hosting this year’s fundraiser:

When: Saturday, March 31st
Time: Noon-9pm
Where: Lazer Xtreme
Southland Shopping Center
13409 Smith Road
Middleburg Heights, Ohio 44130

More information and signup for the Lazer Xtreme fundraiser can be found on the Ohio section of the MWB forums.

Or donate to our friends from 501st at the Imperial Strike Team website.

Our continued support of BBBS has earned “Rebel Strike Team” and Rebel Legion both local and national media attention. Rebel Strike Team has been featured twice on Bantha Tracks Online, the Hyperspace exclusive newsletter of starwars.com; along with several local newspaper and television reports.

Both Rebel Strike Team and Imperial Strike Team will be at Freeway Lanes ( Parma) as part of the Bowl For Kids’ Sake “Community Bowl” held on Saturday, May 5th.
